Boy, you guys are good. Yes, the shifter is from a Porsche 914. For reference, all of the air-cooled VWs used a ball-and-socket shifter design, very similar to the one in the Miata transmission, except that the socket part is inside the center frame tunnel rather than the transmission. I think that the 911s used a similar setup, though I won't swear to it.
And no, I'm not building a Porsche 914.

I got it! It's an actuating lever that moves the book case that leads to the secret passage to Joe's underground lair. Cleverly disguised as a random shift lever sitting on the counter. You sly devil, you.

You know how people sometimes say things like "I would have sex with that car?"
I would honestly like to take that car to a Broadway play, buy it a nice meal, listen to it talk about its feelings, empathize with it, and then cuddle up next to it on the sofa while watching The English Patient and sipping a nice chardonnay.
That car, by comparison, I would like to hit with a large stick.
